Effect

Generations II to V

Magnitude does not have a set base power. Instead the base power of this move varies on a magnitude scale between four and ten.

This attack will randomly choose a magnitude between four and ten, with four having the least power and ten having the greatest. Magnitude will double in power if the opponent is in the underground stage of Dig.

Base power varies as follows:
